Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

AlphaFold, an AI tool, predicts protein structure from amino acid sequences. MIT researchers, led by Professor Richard Young, have developed ProtGPS, a model that predicts where proteins localize ...

Epithelial cells form a layer in which an apical surface is exposed to the external environment and to other forms of stress in ducts in specialized organs. As such, epithelial cells require ...

1972). In the PTK2 cells (a male cell line) there is one nucleolus per cell, and in PTK1 cells (a female cell line), there are two nucleoli per cell. The variation in number between male and female ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society , the work by researchers at King's College ...
